Online Campaign Started For Bethany Cobb To Meet ‘One Direction’

Bethany Cobb, who was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma in September is a huge One Direction fan. She even sleeps with a 1D blanket and teddy bear, just to show how dedicated she is.

After her condition started to get worse in January, her family, along with the help of the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, are desperately working to make her dying wish of meeting the boy band come true. Though Make-A-Wish did not think there was enough time to make this particular wish happen, over 16,000 people have liked Battle With Bethany, the Facebook page created to get the boy band’s attention.

Though Bethany’s parents are ‘overwhelmed’ by this incredible amount of support, they made sure to let everyone know that their main priority is still their daughter.

A message on the Facebook page stated, “Although Bethany likes One Direction, our focus is on Bethany going to be with The One who loves us, and saved us from our sins, Jesus Christ! More than any meeting with any musical group, we humbly ask for you to continue to pray for Bethany.”
